Chapter 126: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Bailijiu returned to the post station, it was nearly two watches, and he and the Marquis of Zhenyuan discussed with Fan Shimou the plan to attack the mountain on the second day perfunctorily, but each had a dispute, and finally broke up.

Marquis Zhenyuan deliberately held his own opinions with Fan Shimou and was aggressive, but he didn't say a word about going to Xiaojin Mountain in person, so as not to make preparations for Fan Shimou at night. In the end, he pretended to be angry, brushed his sleeves away, and naturally dispersed.

Noya hadn't slept yet, she lit the lamp and was waiting for Bailijiu to come back, but she took the scroll of holy decree that Chu Qingchen gave her in her hand, looked left and right, frowned, and didn't even notice that Bailijiu came back.

"Can I think that you are sleepless at night, looking at things and thinking about people?" Baili Jiu took off his tiredness and pretended to be a relaxed joke.

Noya raised her eyes and saw that it was him, and slowly smiled: "You go to kidnap your beautiful girl, I miss my old lover, and everyone has their place." ”

Baili Jiu sighed helplessly, he was exhausted after a day of fighting wits with the two treacherous and cunning foxes, and he had to fight when he came back, but he enjoyed it: "You can say such things, aren't you afraid that I will take it seriously?" ”

Noya smiled "hehe", closed the holy decree in his hand, and tucked it into his sleeve: "It's just that I think Chu Qingchen will definitely not be full, and the will to write these nonsense articles is given to me, so let's see if there is any mystery in it." ”

Bailijiu nodded: "Did you find anything?" ”

Noya shook her head: "Look horizontally, vertically, and obliquely, I've tried everything, and I haven't seen what secrets are hidden, but I've been touching them, and the ink is much lighter." ”

"Just this bit of ink in our stomachs, Chu Qingchen knows the roots, chewing the words is playing the piano to the cow, and he shouldn't play any esoteric puzzles with us. I advise you not to waste your efforts. ”

Noah pursed her lips unwillingly, obviously unconvinced: "What about you?" I heard that it was quite a sensation today, and 10,000 troops were dispatched to encircle and suppress Xiaojinshan. Why don't you let me join in the fun? ”

Bailijiu curled the naughty bangs on her forehead behind her ears, and there was a rare tenderness in her eyes: "Because I want them to know that you are jealous and angry, if you run away from home in the future, there is an excuse, right?" ”

"And ruined my reputation, and said that the soldiers of the inn came in and saw me eighteen times under the pretext of today, and how could it be full of mockery." Noya snorted angrily, and was a little shy by him: "Besides, who said that you were going to run away from home?" ”

"I said it." Baili Jiu smiled indulgently, as warm as the wind.

Noya was alarmed in her heart, and suddenly realized that it was not good, but it was too late, and as soon as it was dark in front of her, she fainted, and fell softly into Baili Jiu's arms, only having time to scold: "Damn! ”

Baili Jiu smiled more and more dotingly, stretched out his hand to rub her face with his rough fingers, lowered his head and pecked the tip of her eyebrows, and only after a while did he reluctantly raise his face, put her on the couch, and then blew out the lamp and candle, walked straight to the bed, lifted the mattress on the bed, and gently knocked on the bed board three times.

But for a moment, the bed shook invisibly. Baili Jiufu knocked three more times, and the bed board was pushed open from under the bed, and Bingluo stuck his head out from under the bed, glanced around alertly, and then jumped up from under the bed.

"How many people have arrived in the Killer Pavilion?" Baili Jiu asked in a low voice.

"The first batch of 200 people are mostly good at concealment and the art of retreat. The second batch is still on the way. ”

Baili Jiu nodded, being able to quietly open up the tunnel of the post station in such a short time, the art of earth escape should not be underestimated: "You select fifty elites from them, escort Noah to leave this place quickly, hand over all the things here to Yuanbao, let him take the imperial fan, no matter what means are used, try to raise soldiers and horses." ”

"Then master, ......," Bingluo asked uneasily.

"Now that he has been tempted three times and twice, although the Marquis of Zhenyuan does not seem to know, and he is not the same as Fan Shimou, his mind is unfathomable and unpredictable. Tomorrow will be a big change, the good and the bad are uncertain, and it will be useless for Noya to stay here. Bingluo, I entrust her and my son to you, and you must escort her out of Huzhou safely and retreat to Henan County. I didn't have to worry about it, so I could just give it a go. ”

Bingluo understood Bailijiu's thoughts, and also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he didn't persuade much, without further ado, he stepped forward to carry Nuoya carefully, gritted his teeth at Bailijiu and said: "Master, don't worry, even if I fight for my life, I will definitely live up to my mission." Take care of yourself. ”

Baili Jiu nodded, slowly let go of the hand holding Noya, escorted Bingluo out of the hole, closed the bed board, put down the bed tent, and was stunned for a long time, estimating that he had left the city safely, before throwing a porcelain pillow on the bed to the ground.

"Madam, I really know that I am wrong, you have to believe me, we are really innocent."

"Madam, don't be angry, I know you just feel sorry for me, I almost lost my life today."

"Madam, you can beat me and scold me, say something, don't cry, you are pregnant now, you can't be angry."

A snickering rang out in the courtyard outside the door.

Baili Jiu took off a shoe, wore through the window paper and threw it out: "Get out!" I haven't seen it! ”

Immediately there was no sound outside the window.

"Madam, you see, everyone else is laughing at me, let me, right?"

Talking to himself, his voice slowly became quieter.

......

On the second day, when Bailijiu was still asleep, he was woken up by a knock on the door of the post station, saying that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had sent someone to inform him that he would meet in the west of the city and attack Xiaojin Mountain together.

Bailijiu knew the intentions of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so he didn't dare to delay, got up and washed briefly, and yawned and told the post soldiers: "My wife is angry, you must not take the initiative to go in and provoke her, she started a temper but the six relatives did not recognize it." ”

Noya's fierce reputation is not only in the capital, the soldiers have already heard of it, knowing that she used to be a killer who killed people without blinking, shrinking her neck, waving her hands again and again, who dares to ask for hardship without anything?

Bailijiu relieved himself and went straight to the west of the city.

About 3,000 cavalry had been assembled in the west of the city, and their clothing was different from that of the Huguang garrison, and it should have been the first batch of men and horses sent by the Marquis of Zhenyuan yesterday who arrived at a gallop overnight.

Baili Jiu was secretly surprised, and he didn't know where this was the cavalry stationed, how could the march be so fast? And riding for a day and a night, full of exhaustion, but still energetic, morale is high, all eyes are introverted, it can be seen that the skills are extraordinary, all of them are strong soldiers with one enemy and one hundred.

I have long guessed that the Marquis of Zhenyuan must have hole cards, and today he really killed Fan Shimou by surprise. Could it be that he came prepared?

"Ninth Master, why haven't you seen Ninth Lady all the time? This official can hear that the Ninth Master and his wife are deeply affectionate, and they have always been inseparable. Fan Shimou rode a horse and followed Hou Ye's side, pretending to ask casually.

Bailijiu raised his eyes and glanced at Hou Ye, quite embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Ahem, I am pregnant, and I am a little ahem... I'm not feeling well, ah, yes, I'm not feeling well. ”

He spoke in a hurry, covering it up in every possible way, and the dark tide surging on the banquet that day Fan Shimou had already seen it in his eyes, tacitly and secretly ridiculed, and he snorted twice.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan shook the reins of his horse, and he was majestic: "Today, Benhou will personally go to Xiaojin Mountain to rescue Ah Xun, and he will trouble his nephew to help together." ”

Baili Jiujiao Erlang responded locally: "For matters within the division, Hou Ye does not have to be polite." ”

After saying that, he also turned over and got on the horse, and walked side by side with the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Fan Shimou, beating the horse and galloping all the way.

At the foot of Xiaojin Mountain, Bu Fan and others strengthened their vigilance, and the sound of drills on the mountain shouted to kill the sky, full of momentum. Fan Jinxiang besieged but did not attack, and was at a loss, when he heard the thunder of hooves in the distance, and the dust was flying, it was the army of the Marquis of Zhenyuan who was surrounding Xiaojin Mountain.

Bu Fanxin, who was fully armed, was waiting on the mountainside, couldn't help but mention his throat again, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the bottom of the mountain, the leader of the person, one was Fan Shimou, the other was a lion nose and a wide mouth, with a dignified appearance, wearing a python robe, riding on a horse with an extraordinary bearing, thinking that it should be the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

The fact that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was able to come in person showed that Bailijiu's plan had begun, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly sorted out the words that Bailijiu had explained in advance, lest there be any more omissions.

Fan Jinxiang looked anxious, and greeted him with great guilt: "The little nephew is incompetent, the thief is treacherous and fierce, and he threatens An Pingxiang, and the little nephew is jealous and does not dare to act rashly, so he has no choice but to sound the gong to withdraw the troops. ”

Marquis Zhenyuan has always admired the son-in-law he selected, and comforted: "The thief is treacherous, and it is extremely rare for a virtuous son-in-law to be able to swallow his anger for the sake of the little girl, how can Ben Hou bear to be harsh again?" ”

Fan Jinxiang was grateful and did enough bitter scenes.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan stepped forward immediately, raised his face to Bu Fan and saluted the soldiers: "I am the Marquis of Zhenyuan, presumably this is the brother of the Bu family?" ”

Bu Fan also changed his arrogant attitude yesterday, and bowed his hand to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and said respectfully: "The prestige of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, I have heard about it a long time ago, and I finally saw it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

The Marquis of Zhenyuan himself was quite surprised, he didn't expect these fierce and vicious bandits to be so polite to him. He bowed his head and said: "The bride you hijacked on the mountain yesterday is the little girl Anping of Benhou. ”

Bu Fan nodded: "The villain knows." ”

"My little brother and I should have no grudges in the past, and no grudges in the near future, right?"

Bu Fan still nodded.

"Then why did the little brother kidnap the little girl to the mountains?" The Marquis of Zhenyuan barely suppressed his anger and asked out loud.

Bu Fan smiled: "It's just that I have admired the name of Hou Ye for a long time, and I want to invite Hou Ye to my Xiaojin Mountain as a guest." ”

Fan Shimou on the side was obviously a little weak-hearted, interrupted Bu Fan's words, and said coldly: "Holding the county lord hostage and openly opposing the imperial court, this is your Xiaojinshan's hospitality?" ”

Bu Fan shook his head: "No way, Lord Hou's courtyard is all surrounded by Lord Fan's eyeliner, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, it is difficult to see Hou Ye." ”

Marquis Zhenyuan turned to face Fan Shimou and asked in a cold voice, "Lord Fan sent someone to spy on Ben Hou?" ”
